My Recommendation

The Milan ContractThank you to NetGalley, Stephen Franks (author) and Mooncatbooks (publisher) for giving me the opportunity to read The Milan Contract.

For a first novel by Stephen Franks it is a "ripper". I loved it.

To start off I thought hang on a minute there are way too many characters continually being introduced, how am I going to keep track of them all. Yes, there were quite a few characters, but the brilliant way they were described, it was easy to keep track of who was who.

Lieutenant Raphael Conza was the main policeman but he was very able supported by a few others. The book was set in Italy, but it also encompassed, UK and Germany among other countries.

I will not say too much about the book or plot, but if you get a chance to read this one, do yourself a favor and make sure you get it.

I would love to see some sequels to this and make it into a mini series. A couple of the main players may have already left the scene, but I am sure it could be developed further. If so, I would love to read some more. I will keep my eye open for more books by Stephen Franks.

I have no hesitation in giving this the highest rating of 5 stars from me.
